Remember that Jesus was also maligned by the Pharisees when He was on earth. We must forgive as Jesus commands us, His followers. As a Christian I have been the object of ridicule many times. I have to pray for them as God (Jesus) tells us that we will be hated because we are His followers and to love and pray for them. Also, the Holy Spirit is still working in the hearts and minds of those they call themselves Christians. We aren't perfect yet, but will when we see Him in Heaven. God has a wonderful plan for all of us and He still loves us all, despite
our sin.My prayer everyday is for my heart to be like my saviour Jesus Christ. :-)
